Title
A medieval copper-alloy thimble, 1350-1450.
Description
English: A medieval copper-alloy thimble, 1350-1450. It has slightly tapering sides and a domed top. The thimble has numerous hand punched dots applied around the outside in a spiral pattern, which continue over the sides and cover the top. No original surface has survived and the worn exposed areas have a light-green patina. It measures 24.98mm in diameter and 20.48mm high, but it has been squashed and split. Thimbles of this date can be found in Bailey, G. 1995. Detector Finds 2, pages 12-13.
